1.Boundary Rider
There's a boundary rider
At the five mile fence
Bloodwood, bones + steers
And the sky's so deep
You can't find your sleep
Keeps you walking through these tears
So you reach for things
You're never satisfied
You're running down the years
And to know yourself
Is to be yourself
Keeps you walking through these tears
Some days you ride it hard
To stop them getting out
Then comes the day you ride
To stop them getting in
There's a boundary rider
On the five mile fence
Bloodwood, bones + steers
And to know yourself
Is to be yourself
Keeps you walking through these tears.
2.Here Comes A City
Just pulled out of a train station we're moving sideways
I'm sitting here with three other people in the carriage
Passing churches, passing stations, a bustling complex
I see a sequence 22 rivers out my window
Pushing you away from me
Pushing you away from me
The skyscrapers the cloud scratchers
Here comes a city
The sandwich maker the trolleycar pusher
Here comes a city
Pushing you away from me
Pushing you away from me
Etterzhausen, Frankfurt Central, here comes a city
And why do people who read Dostoevsky always look like
Dostoevsky？
A crowded train, a silent night
The country's black and the cities are bright
On this flight, through the night
On this flight, historic night
Here comes a city
3.Darlinghurst Nights
I opened a notebook, it read The Darlinghurst Years
I snapped it shut but out jumped some tears
I didn't have to read it, it all came back
Dragging my fingers through my hair
Hidding behind her back
Gut rot cappuccino, gut rot spaghetti
Gut rot rock'n'roll through the eyes of Frank Brunetti
And always the traffic, always the lights
Joe played the cello through those
Darlinghurst Nights
One more coffee and I must go
Back to my room more chapters to go
We'll meet up in an alley with more places I know
I'm going to change my appearance everyday
I'm going to write a movie and then I'm going to star
in a play
I'm going to go to Caracas because you know I'm
just going to have to get away
Marjorie and Kim, Andy and Clint, Debbie, Bertie, people came
and went
And then there was Suzie who we never ever saw again
And always the traffic always the lights
Climbing that hill star studded nights
Joe played the cello
Alright.
4.Finding You
What would you do if you turned around
And saw me beside you
Not in a dream but in a song？
Would you float like a phantom
Or would you sing along？
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
But I know it's finding you
What would you do
If you saw me driving by in a car
The quickest you've ever seen me spin？
Would you smile and wave
Or would you bow and get in？
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
But I know it's finding you
But then the lightning finds us
Burns away our kindness
We can't find a place to hide
Come the rainy season
Surrender to our treasons
Can we even find our tears？
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where it's flowing
But I know it's finding you
5.People Say
You've got to improve
Your walk hardly moves
Your holy sailors with their harbour smells
Feed from your broken shells
So that's how it feels
It's a cruel God that steals
The things you love, the things you hold
That are priceless but still sold
People say I'm mad to want you
People say I'm mad to need you
People say I'm mad to love you babe
The jobs you cannot hold
The stereo that you sold
You can't have milk and drink it too
Your kitchen never had any food
People say I'm mad to want you
People say I'm mad to need you
People say I'm mad to love you babe
The clouds lie on their backs
And rain on everyone
But you always stay dry
You've got your own private sun
Listen to the doctor's advice
Nobody's ever been saved twice
So pack your bags, your saxophone
I'm gonna take you to Rome
People say I'm mad to want you
People say I'm mad to need you
People say I'm mad to love you babe
6.The Mountains Near Dellray
In the mountains near Dellray, acres and a farm, music in the
barn, it's no struggle.
Snow in the sun. October in the rain. The people that have come
are in the middle.
And does the Derwent flow？ Anywhere up that way.
Does the Derwent flow near Dellray？
And when you make a wish. And you get the wish. Never let it go,
it's no struggle.
7.No Reason To Cry
For days we fought across the globe
You bit my tongue on a Lisbon Road
We staggered home to the black hotel
Blew our money at the wishing well
December sun didn't make us sing
Wounds too deep to keep anything
But there's no reason to cry.
Been fifteen years since we last spoke
The wounds have healed on my throat
The autumn sun's a creamy haze
On Fox Hill Green I lose the day
But there's no reason to cry.
8.Lavender
Everybody said that she's good in bed
Other people said that she's well read
She's got a pair or black boots that kick stones
She's got black moods she calls her own
She's got Tasmania in the back of her head
A future move in her head
She's been to Sydney once, no more
They poisoned her water and nailed her door
She wears Lavender it's her scent
Lavender wherever she went
9.Born To A Family
Born to a family
A family of workers
Born to a family
Of honest workers
Then I came along
Golden boy who belonged
And changed the system
Of honest workers
I was square into the hole
There was something in my soul
What could I do
But follow the calling
What could I do
But follow this calling
When I was five years old
Asked when I'd be old
Did I have a plan
But I knew who I am
Born to a family
10.The Statue
I blow the dust from your lips and beg forgiveness
But there's too much moonlight on your skin
I rise and face the day
Another weary sinner
I can't feel your touch in the blaze of noon
At night I haunt the boulevard
To the songs of Sacha
I need the touch of fingers on my skin
Then the sunrise seeks you through a maze of dragons
And drops its touch
On the fir trees in the wind
They say that ice will melt
Marble can blind you
Doesn't matter what you felt
No-one can find you
To remind you
Cause you're a statue nothing can hurt you
You've lost the touch
Cause you're a statue nothing can hurt you
You've lost the touch
No-one can find you
Or move you
11.This Night's For You
I follow footprints to the edge of the moon
While the silver moves around the room
Your sister says your ship is sailing soon
Sighs and whispers from the red lagoon
Then the fire calls and the day blinds you
And a tower falls and the stars find you
This night's for you.
I find some feathers buried in the sand
I put them on and try to leave the land
Beyond the break horizons run unplanned
I wear your footprints tattoos in my hands
Then the fire calls and the day blinds you
And a tower falls and the stars find you
This night's for you.
